Bewitching Benedict

Lovelorn Lads

De: C. E. Murphy

Narrado por: Morag Sims

Benedict Fairburn does not quite need his ailing great-aunt's fortune, especially since he'll have to marry to get it. His family, however, thinks otherwise - as do many of the eligible ladies in London - and the pressure is mounting. An embarrassment of attentions fill Benny's time, but the young lady he prefers roundly dislikes him.

Claire Dalton, cousin to one of Benedict's oldest friends, is too busy debuting in Society to pay much attention to the Fairburn boy who once insulted her past bearing. He doesn't recognize her, but that's hardly upsetting, especially with the fetching Mr. Graham offering his arm.

Unfortunately, Mr. Graham is not all he seems, and each week brings a fresh disaster for Claire's first Season. It's enough to drive a young woman to distraction, especially since Benny Fairburn keeps behaving so very oddly. Concealed tragedy, poor orphans, a dotty great-aunt, deception and misunderstanding whirl in every direction, ready to explode.

Benedict and Claire are perfect for each other. Unfortunately, it may take catastrophe to make them realize as much....

Too many people

I think there were too many people for the narrator to keep straight. I cringed every time the word lads was mentioned. Also I didn’t feel any connection between the hero and heroine.

Pleasant story.

Pleasant historical romance by C. E. Murphy. I enjoyed the voice of Morag Sims. My only complaint was that there seemed to be too many characters too keep track of, particularly too many “lads” (a male group of friends). It was challenging to keep them all straight while listening and posed an additional challenge for the narrator. On the whole though it was an enjoyable story. I particularly loved the manservant character!

Fun Story

I haven't read a story in a long time that tells the story from so many points of view. It was confusing at first, but as a whole I enjoyed the characters and storyline.

Better and with more heart...

than most Regency novels, equal to the best of Georgette Heyer. an intricate 'clean' romance.

Just right

I love how the Butler is so carefully intertwined in the story and how each character has a bit of attitude.

Tell me more!

I've gotta know about the other gentleman. Every male character sounds intriguing. I can't wait for all of them to fall in love!

Well written and entertaining

This is more well written than most to be honest. I was surprised and very happy to finish it. I am sad that there are not more yet

Truly Enjoyable

I quite enjoyed every character in this book. The narration was excellent, and the story actually drew emotions out of me. I was anxious to hear the next chapter, each time!
Good work.

Worthington! Love him. And the lads…where are the other stories??? I want to listen to them all!
